摘要:Aim: Cereal-legume cropping system has been proved to be one of the best alternatives for a productive as well as profitable farming in West Bengal. Maize is an important cereal crop which is widely grown during rainy (kharif) season throughout the State. While garden pea, a short duration winter (rabi) season vegetable, can easily fit in any existing cereal-legume cropping system. The present nutrient management strategies solely relay on NPK based chemical fertilizer application which results in the gradual deterioration in soil physical and chemical properties and stagnant crop yield. To maximize production level by spraying extracts of natural products that contain stimulants, is a strategic move to overcome the ill effects of the use of excessive doses of inorganic fertilizer.
